Dior Pushes Monochrome for Fall

By -
When I asked about wearing one color head to toe, you were skeptical. You seemed far more excited about becca's devotion to not matching. With fall coming up, I wanted to revisit upcoming trends. I'd completely forgotten about Christian Dior's matchy-matchy, ladies who lunch show.
Matching gloves, hats, skirts, tops, jackets, purses, and even shoes. Part of this seems like brilliant marketing. If you really want to be matchy-matchy, you have to buy your entire outfit from the same company to ensure the dye lot is the same. Way to rake in the cash during tough economic times, Dior.

What do you think of this trend?

We get old women at the shoe store that want to match their shoes to their clothes. Matching navies, and browns, sometimes pinks... It's much easier to find a contrasting shoe. If it's a perfect match, fine, but when shades and tones are a little off, it looks odd to me.

I like the idea, although it would be expensive to do the head to toe look. I also think you will need to find the perfect hair and make-up, as these looks seem to highlight the face more.

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
